conqstrat6

Usage

Overview

This manual page documents briefly the conqstrat command.

conqstrat is a utility which reads rules from stdin to update Robot strategy tables. It's normal use is to update the common block (the game's current 'state') with a 'compiled' robot AI state, defined by a file such as conqrule.

If you want to modify the robot's AI, you can do so and use conqstrat to either update the common block (running game) with the new AI directly, or generate a conqdata.h file that can be compiled into Conquest and used as the default when the universe is initialized.

Options

-v

Be verbose about everything.

-d

Turn on lots of debugging.

-U

Update the common block directly. This is the most common use for non‐conquest developers. NOTE: If you then use conqoper to initialize the common block, your AI will be lost and replaced with the compiled‐in default, so you will need to re‐run this command to re‐install your own AI again.

-o file

Output to file. Without this option, output will go to stdout. The normal use of this option is to generate a header file that is compiled directly into conquest (conqdata.h).
